relationship between luck and skill is interesting. i'm sure there's some writing or proverbs or whatnot around this.

Aristotle addresses this question. - Luck is defined as being without reason, and skill is defined as what we can produce with predictability (the work of reason). So a skill itself is not ever luck. - But what about people we observe who consistently achieve good things, but don’t have a reason in mind in pursuing? This seems to be a kind of luck. - There is one type who is hitting on good things more or less by coincidence. Another type, though, has a nature that is in close touch with the divine order of things. This nature of theirs was not chosen, and it achieves repeated good outcomes without the use of reason, but rather by following their nature. In fact, deliberation harms such a person. (A sign or such people is that they have predictive dreams.) Tldr: There is a kind of repeated good luck — but it is not a skill, it is a nature.

4 kind of luck by @naval : - blind luck - normal luck (by hardwork) - luck sniper (highly sensitive to luck) - luck magnet (combine personal uniqueness, luck always comes to you) the repeated luck is in 3 or 4 imo

luck is preparation meeting opportunity. you can control how prepared you are, and only then are opportunities presented. the universe doesn't give sustainable opportunities to people who aren't prepared for them.

if someone is repeatedly getting lucky, they are probably skilled at being in the right place at the right time

Think of the inverse with bad luck and it's quite obvious that you can influence luck with skill

definitely could be called a skill, but some people are naturally better at it than others so perhaps there’s luckiness luck too haha

Repeatedly getting lucky sounds like steps in the right direction or fate/destiny even?

Maybe it’s not luck but knowing when to take risks. It’s like skill in disguise
